Everybody can do magic,

Everybody can reach his goals,

If he can think,

If he can wait,

If he can fast.

Hermann Hesse

Over several thousand years, fasting has proven itself to be humanity's oldest, fastest and most effective detoxification, healing and longevity enhancing modality known to mankind—both curative, as well as preventive. Animals instinctively fast when ill. Fasting is the avoidance of solid food while consuming only liquids. Your liberal fasting includes the use of fresh juices made from vegetables and fruits as well as herbal teas. Detoxification might be intense or might be immediately helpful and uplifting.

Fasting and detoxification is a complete experience that is best shared in a group support setting. Gather your own group and we will guide and support you through the process, from preparation to the breaking of your fast. From our experience, 5 day fasts combined with regular yoga practices will give you the ideal sense of well-being. We promise you a fabulous experience that will ignite your radiance from within.

Why Fasting is so good for you

Unfortunately, most diets today are heavily loaded with artificial flavors and chemically-created coloring agents, toxic pesticides, herbicides and fungicides and other chemicals which overburden our bodies. As this toxic overload accumulates decade after decade, augmented also by environmental pollution, drugs and medication, it eventually interferes with normal functioning and our body's elimination system becomes impaired. During fasting large amounts of these accumulated metabolic wastes and poisons are quickly eliminated through the greatly enhanced cleansing capability of all the organs of elimination – liver, kidneys, skin and lungs. Toxic or unwanted materials circulate in our bloodstream and lymphatic tissues and are deposited in and released from our stores and other tissues. An important element of fasting detoxification is mobilizing the toxins from their storage areas.

Fasting clearly improves motivation and creative energy; it also enhances health and vitality and lets many of the body systems rest. In other words, fasting is a multidimensional experience. Physiologically, refraining from eating minimizes the work done by the digestive organs, including the stomach, intestines, pancreas, gallbladder, and liver. Most important is that our liver, our body's large production and metabolic factory, can spend more time during fasting cleaning up and creating its many new substances for our use. Breakdown of stored or circulating chemicals is the basic process of detoxification.

The blood and lymph also have the opportunity to be cleaned of toxins as all the eliminative functions are enhanced with fasting. Each cell has the opportunity to catch up on its work, it can repair itself and dump its waste for the garbage pickup. Most fasters also experience a new vibrancy of their skin and clarity of mind and body. Allow your cells and organs to breathe out, become current, and restore themselves.

Spiritually, juice fasting offers a lesson in self-restraint and control of passions, which help us in many avenues of life. Through fasting, we can turn our energies inward, where we can use them for healing, clarity, and change.

When we eliminate these old poisons from our system, negative emotions are as well released. Hatha Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation are the most powerful tools to bring harmony and balance on all levels, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. During the fast your body starts to release toxins quite rapidly. Yoga postures and breathing exercises accelerate the elimination of these toxins that might otherwise lead to headaches.
